The arrival of the Chery Q, a compact electric car competing with the Geely EX2, embodies the concept of being "cuter than expected, more complete than its class." As Chery's City EV aimed at urban electric mobility, it offers a claimed range of 400 kilometers (with practical coverage around 300 kilometers). Its cute design and electric drive technology provide features exceeding its 500,000 baht price point. The rear-mounted motor (RWD) caters to driving enthusiasts and urban lifestyles. The Chery Q uses a rear-axle-mounted electric motor with rear-wheel drive, resulting in high agility and fun driving. The motor delivers up to 122 horsepower, paired with a 41.278 kWh battery that can travel up to 400 kilometers per full charge under NEDC standards. Real-world tests driving on the M81 route to Kanchanaburi showed about 300 kilometers at speeds of 100–120 km/h without focusing on energy saving.
The Chery Q features a Square-Circle Design that balances square lines with smooth curves, giving it a modern, cute appearance. It won the 2026 German Red Dot Product Design Award in Product Design, demonstrating Chery's design team’s focus on appealing to diverse age groups. Unique design elements include Q-shaped LED signature headlights and taillights, two-tone side mirrors, semi-hidden door handles, 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels, and a floating C-pillar connecting to the side windows. The top model adds power-operated front hood and tailgate.

Body Length Comparison
CHERY Q measures 4,195 millimeters, GEELY EX2 measures 4,135 millimeters. Direct comparison shows CHERY Q is 60 millimeters longer, giving it a slightly more elongated and spacious appearance.
Body Width Comparison
CHERY Q is 1,811 millimeters wide, GEELY EX2 is 1,805 millimeters wide. Some market specs list 1,850 millimeters including fender flares. CHERY Q is slightly wider by 6 millimeters in standard body width, providing a comparable sense of spaciousness.
Body Height Comparison
CHERY Q is 1,568 millimeters tall, GEELY EX2 is 1,580 millimeters tall. The GEELY EX2 is 12 millimeters taller, resulting in a sleeker silhouette and slightly more headroom.
Wheelbase Length Comparison: CHERY Q 2,700 millimeters, GEELY EX2 2,650 millimeters. CHERY Q has a clear advantage with a 50-millimeter longer wheelbase, which in similarly sized vehicles helps increase legroom inside and improves stability on long trips.
Ground Clearance: CHERY Q 128 millimeters, GEELY EX2 162 millimeters. GEELY EX2 is 34 millimeters higher, better suited for rough, uneven roads or tall speed bumps without worrying about scraping the underside.
Summary: CHERY Q emphasizes a longer body and a generous 2,700 mm wheelbase (close to C-segment cars), resulting in a spacious cabin. GEELY EX2 focuses on a slightly taller body and a higher ground clearance of 162 mm, better suited for crossover-style rough terrain usage.
Electric Motor Power and Torque Comparison
CHERY Q features a single rear-mounted electric motor (RWD) producing a maximum of 122 horsepower (90 kW) and 115 Nm of torque.
GEELY EX2 also uses a single rear-mounted electric motor (RWD) with a maximum output of 114 horsepower (85 kW) and 150 Nm of torque.
Comparison: CHERY Q has a slight edge in horsepower with 8 more horsepower, providing better acceleration and top-end power. However, GEELY EX2 offers 35 Nm higher torque at low rpm, aiding sharper and more agile city starts.
Battery Capacity and Technology
CHERY Q uses a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a capacity of 41.28 kWh.
GEELY EX2 uses an LFP battery with 39.4 kWh capacity.
Comparison: CHERY Q has a slightly larger battery by 1.88 kWh, allowing for more stored energy for longer trips.
Driving Range per Full Charge
CHERY Q claims a maximum range of 400 km per full charge (NEDC standard), or approximately 330–340 km (WLTP standard).
GEELY EX2 claims a maximum range of 395 km per full charge (NEDC standard), or about 325 km (WLTP standard).
Comparison: Both have very close driving ranges, with CHERY Q leading by just 5 km (NEDC). In daily use, this difference is negligible.
Summary: Both are B-segment City EVs with rear-wheel drive and similar performance. CHERY Q leads slightly in horsepower and battery size, yielding a small range advantage, while GEELY EX2 compensates with higher low-end torque for quicker urban acceleration.
Chery Q's interior focuses on spaciousness and comfort, featuring a Smart Centre Console that increases storage and utility, a 50W wireless smartphone charger, and a flexible space design adaptable to user needs. Additional storage includes compartments under the rear seats, and folding rear seats expand cargo space up to 1,450 liters.
Chery Q includes driving assistance technologies such as Automatic Parking Assist (APA) for easier parking in tight spaces, 21 ADAS functions, and CarLinko Remote Application connectivity, allowing remote vehicle status monitoring, function control, and real-time usage tracking via smartphone.
The cabin offers many conveniences for a top model priced around 500,000 baht, including wireless phone charging, digital climate control, power-adjustable driver seat, power-folding side mirrors, smart keyless entry, a 4-way adjustable steering wheel, and electric tailgate and frunk. The 41.278 kWh LFP battery supports fast DC charging from 30% to 80% in approximately 16.5 minutes, and a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function with up to 6.6 kW power supply for external devices, supporting versatile lifestyle needs.
Chery Q is equipped with a 15.6-inch central touchscreen and an 8.88-inch driver information display. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with features enhancing user enjoyment and personalization such as Quick Gestures, customizable wallpapers, eight character avatars for navigation, and USB ports for installing dash cameras.
Q Talk is an external voice communication system featuring five preset messages to enrich the electric vehicle experience. It includes a microphone-based external voice projection system that broadcasts speech outside the car for one minute, with three selectable voice tones: normal, deep, and cartoon-style, adding fun and uniqueness. It also provides ambient sounds for different atmospheres and occasions.
Summary
After a brief 250-kilometer test drive, the Chery Q Quint priced at 519,900 baht demonstrated driving characteristics similar to its competitor, the rear-motor-driven Geely EX2. At speeds between 100–130 km/h, it remained stable, offering ample torque for overtaking slower vehicles. It is likely the fastest accelerating car around 500,000 baht, reaching 0–100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, with a top speed of 175 km/h. The steering is confident at high speed with minimal free play, and the electric power steering is fairly responsive. The suspension delivers comfortable ride quality for both front and rear passengers, with generous interior space. The interior design excels in maximizing usable space for its size. A downside is the heavy reliance on touchscreen controls, which may require some time to adapt; a greater number of physical buttons for basic functions might improve ease and safety.
The audio system and infotainment performed well during testing, maintaining stable phone connections. Cargo space is ample, and folding the rear seats significantly expands storage capacity. While the Q is slightly less stable than the EX2 at high speeds, for everyday city use and normal driving, its price point makes it an attractive first electric vehicle that can help save fuel costs amid rising energy expenses globally.
